New hospital.We are trying to adjust.I have been a nervous rack trying to stay sterile and try to protect Sammy without realizing that this place is very clean.I guess my previous experience gets to me ,I have to loose that sting little bit,let him get back to normal life now.Moms known to be little overprotective and I will always wipe my kids faces,get in to there ears,make sure their nose is clean -that what moms do and I'm no difference.
Getting back to our new hospital settings .This is truly amazing how many different approaches there are to physical therapy .This is the best place for rehab!
Everyone has been very accommodating trying to make as easy as possible on our transition.
Sammy is getting his assessment and future plan with the next couple of days.I what him to have a full & complete life outside of the hospital.
I'm very exited about the start.It will be hard work ,but nothing is impossible.Sammy's siblings was brought up overachieving and he is no exception.
I'm looking forward to see him righting his bike again.He was a very strong reader and loved his math before and I will not give up until I see him read again and doing his math!And of course last but not list -I want him enjoy swimming and many wonderful things that life has to offer.
We are setting our bar high and the sky is the limit! XOXO Sammy and Mom.

I wish you much hatzlacha in what should G-d willing be a very short recovery period, and a very long and healthy life for Sammy and your entire family! (And of course, have a wonderful time in Disney World!)
Please post Sammy's Hebrew name and his mother's, so that we can say Tehillim for him.
Shainy, Thanks for good wishes for Sammy. Please spread the word and wish Refuah Shaileimo. His Hebrew name is Chaim Shmuel ben Hannah.
I'm so glad that Sammy is in rehab and on the way to going to Disney World!!
See you in Disney, cant wait!!!!!
you are on the right truck. may hashem help.
I recently heard your story and this is what i have been thinking:
~'Hope in Dispair'~
My heart is bleeding,
Last glimmer of hope retreating,
Belief and trust have dissapated,
This was not at all anticipated,
I sob and choke and weep,
The tears burn through my cheeks,
Agony touching me so deep.
I can not at all imagine,
Why this had to happen-
A young child so innocent and pure,
His body suddenly ruined almost beyond any cure.
How does G-d have the nerve,
To crush sweet people who don't at all deserve?
To break the hearts of so many,
Their happiness to shatter so unexpectedly?
I am desperately searching,
For the G-d of kindness and mercy,
Where to has he dissappeared?
-Has he become too cold and numb for tears? (cannot be)
They told me he feels our pain too,
That he has a child in every single Jew,
So it's towards my daddy in the sky,
That I direct my cry,
My voice reaching his ears on high-
'Dont make your name a lie!!'
I'm shocked at Hashems apparent indifference-
How this tragedy to him can be so insignificant;
His sense of humor I cannot fathom,
His intent so confusing and random.
"He is entirely good"-they preach,
It is to this G-d that I beseech;
My prayers of love are almost bitter with anger,
My morale shattered by the tragedy of a stranger,
What will be with his mother-
Why must she be doomed to hurt and suffer?
What is G-d thinking?!
My Faith is swiftly shrinking...
Yet not withstanding all of the above,
There's something in me that's still in love,
With the one who's now concealed,
His true self soon to be revealed,
Although his actions to me seem so wrong,
To him I still pray with trust and Psalms,
To find hope where there seems none,
I still believe in the holy one.

Dear Anonymous Poem,
Thank you for a powerful, elloquent and elegant Reminder to all of us that Holly One does reveal Himself.
As a close witness to Sammy's saga for some time now, Almighty has revealed himself on the most unexcpected and seemingly benign junctures, from Sammy and his family being at the right place and the right time to get introduced to the right resources and Sammy's Doctors to the communal awakening to encounters of meeting people to help re-enforce the Faith in such a beautiful and powerful way - such as you. Thank you!
I'm Blessed I have to tell you that
My baby illness dosn't make me mad
Our Faith has gotten us this far
We BELIVE and I hope to G-d you are
Sams illness is ours test
It takes whole family and ours is the best
We pray alot and soon you'll see my friend
Hashem is here! he's giving helping hand
With many Thanks I answer to poem wrighter
I feel I'm strong not even little frightened
I will agree it's not an easy task
You have to truly be yourself
can't wear a mask,
For many -this test- is reality check,
Help others in need and youll get goodluck back!
I think of others now and try to help,therefore
I'm much better person than I was before
I hope that my friends stay strong with me still,
I hope for no child become ever ill
I hope in your life if you do get this test
That you very strong and are doing your best!
Sam is getting better and you will see soon,
He will be reading about sun and the moon,
I know he will live long and healthy life
He'll be OK and I will see him thrive
I do belive his sickness has to stop,
I'm Blessed Because I never lost my HOPE!
Sincerely Sammys MOM.
I finally got a chance to look at Sammy's website. We wish Sammy full recovery soon. Breena is looking forward to raise money at her Birthday Party for Sammy. Sammy is always in our thoughts and prayers.
The poem is beautiful! both of them!
